Weather forecasts for Mallorca and about the climate on the island

The climate in Mallorca is influenced by the warm seas around it creating an idyllic climate with warm sunny summers and mild winters. In all there are, on average, 300 days of sunshine a year in Mallorca. There is generally enough rainfall during the winter and spring to keep the island water supplies full and the countryside lush and green.

The Mediterranean also creates a breeze called the "Embat" that is drawn off the sea and cools the island during the summer when the sun is at its hottest.

The seas around Majorca stay warm throughout the year which also serves to keep the winters mild. The surface temperatures generally range from 14ºC in the winter to 26ºC in the summer.

More about the weather in Majorca

The weather in Mallorca can change quickly due to he mountain ranges and surrounding sea which create the "Embat" air currents and micro-climatic conditions. If anything this adds to the environment as Mallorca escapes the scorching humidity of other Southern Mediterranean locations. So if there is rain you can usually rest assured it will pass quickly and the sunshine will return.

The weather in Mallorca does also vary across different areas. South and Southeast Mallorca tend to be the warmest and driest. The Serra de Traumantana mountain range gets more rainfall and cooler temperatures. In the summer months this can be welcome however.

There will still be days of sunshine though and it is not uncommon to see people on the beach right up until December.
